How Much Longer?

It looks like Gil wants to dip his toes in the water a little bit and take an interest in what’s going on in the locker room. But rather than confront the problem in the locker room, with the team, he’d rather stroll around with True and make it about True. We don’t know why. We ask why over and over here, but there are no answers.

Three questions:
1. Doesn’t Gil recognize that this can’t improve until Barry changes … so why not start by talking to Barry?
2. In the real world, wouldn’t a head coach presented with this sort of problem talk to his team captain rather than a relief pitcher?
3. Is the Milford HS baseball season going to end before the Atlanta Braves are mathematically eliminated?

Wake Forest football apparently has its first practice this Friday, 5 August. Not to mention the foreshadowing Rubin did regarding True and pro baseball … he almost has to at least have True turn down a contract offer. This is going to be a busy week for young Mr. Standish.

“Would you tolerate that on your football team, True? I mean, I couldn’t give a shit about it happening on my baseball team, but with the exception of picking up a cold brew, I’m a pretty hands off guy.”
